Students at a prestigious New York City public high school protested the teaching methods used in their pre-calculus/trigonometry classes, ultimately succeeding in their efforts to bring about change.

Despite receiving help from STEM teachers, the students felt that their needs weren’t fully addressed, as the teachers weren’t responsible for creating the tests.
